Relentless

afternoon - 7 12x200 track workout. 3.3 warmup on 2450 run. Then 12x200's. Pretty hot so I broke it up into 3 sets of 4 with 200 recovery jog between and a short break with a quick drink between sets to keep temp down. 1-4 32. 5 and 6 time slipped up to 33. I was mad at letting the time slip so I told myself I had to get the next two in 31's or I would do an extra. So I did 7 and 8 in 31. Legs felt pretty good at this point and I was feeling happy about hitting the times. Then hit 9 and 10 at 31 again and 11 and 12 at 32. Cooled down with .75 big loop. Probably needed more of a cool down, but it was past time to be home with the family. (Cumulus 284.15)

evening - 5 on Washington Parkway. Went back out once I got kids to bed and enjoyed a nice evening with an easy run. Legs were a bit tired. (Landreth 137.95)

AM - up extra early for a 15.  Started with 8 out and back into Middleton.  Then I had to get back and finish on the treadmill, so my wife could go to gym.  That was my downfall.  Tried to make the transition quick, but my legs were already a little spent.  First mile (9) at 6:58, but I was tired - legs and mind.  So I backed it off just a little 7:03 and went the next few until I just gave up. I was disappointed with myself for stopping, but at the time I felt I wasn't doing myself any good. (Glycerin 359.15)

afternoon - 6.15 on Foremaster. Very easy and relaxed 6 on Foremaster run.  No watch.  Just tried to run it easy (which was not hard to do) and with decent form (which was hard to do as I feel pretty wiped out).  (Landreth 144.10)

evening - 6 on Treadmill at 7:30 with 1% incline.  Kept is very easy this evening.  I did feel a bit better than earlier, however. (Cumulus 290.15)

AM - 10.25 on Wendy's run. Up just a little later than usual and ran into Clyde at the end. Had to run him out of DogTown before any serious harm came on him! Overall a pretty disgusting run. One of those that you don't even want to write about because it was crap. But I guess I need to anyway - if for nothing else than a comparison for later. Supposed to be a Tempo run for 4 miles. But with the lack of Tempo speed the last two times I did this, I broke it up into 2 sets of 2 mile tempo's with a mile recovery in between. Unfortunately, my body forgot about the tempo part and I only hit 6:22 and then 6:40 (even with a hill this is gross). The next set wasn't much better at 6:2something and 6:38. Legs tired, body tired, sleepy, stressed, emotionally drained, and pretty much just running like a wimp lately. I've got state track this weekend and that will force me to back down for a couple days, so I will use it to let myself recover a little. (Glycerin 369.4)

PM - 4 more in Nephi. Got back to the hotel in Nephi - yeah, we had to stay in Nephi for the 1st night of state track! - and I felt like a little run. So went down the main drag for 2 miles and back. (Cumulus 294.15)

PM - 15 in Provo.  After 1st day of state, I had a few minutes and went for a run around Provo.  From East Bay up to BYU and around.  Then up by the Temple and through some  hilly neighborhoods to basically the mouth of the canyon.  Then down Timpview Drive and worked my way back to BYU and onto University back to the hotel.  Not positive about the mileage, but measured by time.  Felt very good and really enjoyed the run.  Legs felt good.  Pace was pretty decent throughout.  I enjoy running in new places. (Cumulus 309.15)

Wasn't able to get out.  Needed to sleep, so didn't get up early and then when we got back from Provo, it was too late to function.

Goals for next week:  Had some decent mileage for missing Saturday.  Could have been mid 70's without much effort if I had run Saturday.  So... goal for mileage is to get over 80.  Long run of 18 on Monday and get a very good 400 workout on Tuesday.  Set myself up for a great summer of running in this last week of school.
